I came to the ninja world with thunder and lightning

Chapter 321 The Land of Fire with Undercurrents Surging!

"Kotaro Sarutobi Jōnin died in battle!"

Anbu said a word, and Sarutobi Asma and Sarutobi Hiruzaru stood in place in a daze.

"You... what did you say?" Asma looked surprised, pressed Anbu's shoulders, and asked anxiously.

"Kotaro Jominin..." Anbe opened his mouth, and before he could finish speaking, he saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi staggering and kneeling on the edge of the baby's cradle.

"Father?!" Asma hurriedly turned around, and quickly walked to Ri Zhan's side, wanting to help her.

"When did you get the news?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his hand to stop Asma's support, raised his head, and asked with a tired expression.Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, the light in his eyes was dim, and even his skin lost its luster at this moment.

"Master Hokage just received the news and ordered to come down to report."

"The person who sent the message is the fourth generation, Master Uzumaki Jiuming."

Anbu briefly reported what he knew.But Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help closing his eyes after listening quietly.He insisted on his son's mission. Konoha Village had already known the general location of the enemy's presence, and Konoha had already known the enemy's traces in the Kingdom of Flowers.

Uzumaki Jiuming is also aware of the information that Uzumaki Jiuming is currently residing in the country of flowers. Since the information that Sarutobi Kotaro died in battle came from Uzumaki Jiuming, the possibility of error is almost zero.

In other words, his eldest son really died in battle...

And it was he who had sent his son to battle in person.

"Kotaro..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed inwardly, waved his hands to let Asma and Anbe leave, walked slowly to Konohamaru's side, and gently picked up the baby.

Anbu, who reported the report, was also very interesting, and left immediately, and Asma also fell into a deep sadness. Seeing her father's sad look, she forced herself to leave the room and rushed towards Hokage's office. Confirm the detailed information, and he wants to avenge his elder brother!
After the two left, Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was holding Konoha Maru, finally couldn't restrain his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes.Even Hiruza Sarutobi, the Ninjao who crossed the ninja world, still shed tears of pain when facing the death of his son in battle. In addition to being sad, Hiruza Sarutobi was even more remorseful at this time. His son went out to hunt down the wanted criminal.

The news of Sarutobi Kotaro's death in battle spread like wildfire. Konoha's Jōnin circle said it was not big or small. The news that one Jōnin and three Chunin died in battle is enough to be called in this peaceful time. Up is a big deal.

What's more, the person who died in battle today was none other than the eldest son of the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi.This Jōnin is not an ordinary Jōnin. If you count it, this is a big shot.

Asuma Sarutobi quickly rushed to the Hokage office. In the Hokage office at this time, Minato was discussing something with several Konoha executives. In addition to Nara Shikahisa who was assisted by Nara, Hyuga Hizuru and Uchi from the Hyuga clan The Uchiha Fugaku of the wave clan is all there.

"Hokage-sama, I want to know the specific details of my elder brother's mission." After being reported, Sarutobi Asma directly opened the door and asked loudly.Several people who were discussing things turned their heads in unison, and looked at Asma Sarutobi at the door.

"Asma is here, come in first."

"Your brother's matter. I'm sorry, it was my estimation of the enemy's strength that caused it." Minato's face showed a look of shame, but now Asma is not in the mood to listen to Minato's self-blame.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama, I don't want to hear this right now."

"I just want to know, who is the murderer who killed my brother, and where is he now?"

There were even tears on Asma's face, but when she spoke, she was full of murderous intent and her eyes were fierce. Needless to say, the death of her brother filled the young man's heart with hatred.

"The person who killed your brother is called Jiaodu."

"However, this person has been captured by Jiuming, and I have sent someone to receive him. You should be able to see him in a short time."

"Asma, Uzumaki Jiuming has already avenged you for your revenge, my condolences."

Minato walked out from behind the desk, came to Asma's body and patted his shoulder lightly, comforting him.Asma, who heard the news, seemed to have no strength in her whole body. Her heart, which was originally filled with hatred, became extremely empty at this moment. She seemed to have lost her thoughts and froze in place.

"."

All the people present are people who have survived countless battlefields. They have already seen life and death. Seeing Asma's state at this time, no one spoke. Minato said and left the office individually, but Lu Jiu sighed softly, and sat back to his seat to deal with the matter.

Minato didn't ignore Asma, and led him to sit on the sofa, poured water on Asma, and gently hugged Asma's shoulder.Asma and Kakashi are about the same age. Seeing Asma's absent-mindedness at this time, Minato couldn't help but think of some of his disciples. I don't know how many of them are following Uzumaki Jiuming. How is it now?
In the chaotic ninja world, countless people die every day due to accidents of all sizes.A delicate balance is maintained between the great powers. Large-scale attacks have not occurred, but small-scale frictions have continued.

As one of the five great powers, Konoha naturally had some minor frictions with neighboring countries. The attention caused by the death of Kotarou Sarutobi will soon be distracted by other news.

Those who can always remember Kotarou are only those closest to Kotarou.

Time is the best medicine to heal pain. Even Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who lost his son in old age, will forget the pain at that time under the influence of time.

"Father, I want to leave Konoha!"

"The daimyo recruited ninjas to form an exclusive escort team, I want to go!"

In the tea room of Sarutobi's house, Sarutobi Asuma knelt in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, leaned over and said.

Now two years have passed since Kotaro Sarutobi passed away. Not long ago, the daimyo of the Land of Fire announced to the whole territory that he intends to recruit excellent ninjas and samurai to form his own guard team.Sarutobi Asma got the news and thought it was an opportunity to leave Konoha and pursue his own path.

The death of his elder brother had a great impact on Asma, and now he desperately wanted to strengthen his own strength. In the village, Asma felt that he could not get real training.Since the death of Sarutobi Kotaro, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to impose various restrictions on his only son, and began to intervene in tasks, training and other matters.

Asma obviously has outstanding strength, but he often fails to accept difficult tasks, and his ninja level has always been stuck in the Chunin, without meritorious deeds, and he has been unable to be promoted for a long time.

He was protected by Sarutobi Hiruzen, not only him, but his nephew, Sarutobi Konoha Maru was also protected by Sarutobi Hiruzen, in Asma's view, Sarutobi Hiruzen was too much to Konoha Maru spoiled.

Being restrained by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the planned life was not the life he Asma hoped for!

"Daimyo's exclusive guard?"

"Minato and I have mentioned this matter before, Asma, anyone else can go, but you are not allowed to go!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a sip of tea lightly, and resolutely refused.
